Patents by Inventor Brian Hausauer

Brian Hausauer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20260074885
    Abstract: Encryption operations are securely offloaded to a network interface controller (NIC). Encryption keys are securely transferred from a virtual machine (VM) to the NIC and data is securely transferred from encrypted VM memory to secure buffers in the NIC. The NIC handles the encryption and decryption operations in hardware, greatly increasing encryption performance while not reducing security. This is especially useful in cloud server environments, so the cloud service provider does not have access to the encryption keys or the unencrypted data. The offloaded operations are performed with numerous different communication protocols, including RDMA, QUIC, IPsec underlay and WireGuard.

  • Patent number: 12572499
    Abstract: A best efforts (BE) hardware remote direct memory access (RDMA) transport being performed by a smart network interface controller (NIC). Elements from RoCEv2 and iWARP are utilized in combination with extensions to improve flexibility and packet error recovery. Flexibility is provided by allowing RDMA roles to be individually specified. Flexibility is also provided by additional packet numbering options to allow interleaving of request and response messages at a packet boundary. Error recovery is improved by utilized new acknowledgement responses, SNAK provided for each new hole detected and RACK for each received packet after a SNAK. SNAK allows the indication of resource exhaustion at the receiver, causing entry into a recovery mode where only packets in a hole are transmitted until resources are recovered.
